Emacs with various -TeX modes, mainly in Doom Emacs with the latex flag.

Emacs with auctex, cdlatex, pdf-view and always two frames. C-c C-a is super useful. Also pdf-view-auto-crop-mode.

This is how I originally got into using Emacs. As the best environment for LaTeX (via AUCTeX).

This is unorthodox, but I use https://www.overleaf.com/ its a neat online editor where I can have my docs stored on the cloud and it has a PDF preview on the side, and you can compile it at the end.

While it is not advertised much on their own site Overleaf is AGPL3 licensed and is mostly open source: https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf

I made good experiences with VScode + LaTeX Workshop extension. Here is an example project that should be fully set up. https://github.com/uibk-dps-teaching/DPS-LaTeX However, I also do want to state that I ditched LaTeX completely by now since there is just too much headache involved. I am sticking with Markdown and HTML+CSS for the most part; weasyprint is really helpful when I have to generate PDFs.

The only thing I miss about the vscode setup is support for a decent PDF viewer (not sumatra), and that magnifier loupe thing that other editors have.
